EVENT INFORMATION
We are very happy to announce that the Endoscopic Anterior Skull Base Surgery: Hands-On Cadaveric Course will return in 2026 taking place on Monday 29th June – Tuesday 30th June.
This course is designed for neurosurgeons and otolaryngologists at senior trainee and consultant levels who are interested in the most recent developments in endoscopic surgery of the cranial base and pituitary gland.
This comprehensive two-day course, limited to 12 delegates for six hands-on stations, is a presentation of minimally invasive endoscopic techniques for the anterior skull base and pituitary fossa.
Experts on the subject will present the anatomical, pathophysiological, and technical aspects of surgery along with risks, benefits, and complications such as CSF leak and outcomes. Also, endocrinology, neuroradiology and anaesthetic aspects of endoscopic anterior skull base surgery will be covered.
Teaching is through hands-on cadaveric dissection with a 1:2 faculty to delegate ratio and lecture/video presentations including 3D anatomy of the paranasal sinus and skull base.
Simulation stations will also be available throughout the course, which will provide more opportunity for hands–on practice.
All catering is provided throughout the day including a sponsored course dinner.
